Name That Car...

This should be an easy one...

Old Benz 60s -70s.

Hydro suspension but doesn't look french.

hydro suspension? I think that's a hydraulic window regulator. Still means old Benz.

Ahh,I knew some old Benz's had hydraulics running through their doors and I thought it was for suspension.

My logic:

I guess I didn't look close enough and wouldn't have thought windows would be a thing to use hydraulics on. The only other thing I could think of from that era that used some kind of hydraulics in strange places were Citroens and I've never seen how they were run up close. Running hydraulic suspension through doors would be weird but French cars are weird. Still didn't look like a French door to me so I went German.

Now I have no idea if I am in the ballpark.

In reply to crankwalk:

Definitely not a french door

There are some who call me... Tim

No seriously, Benz

I was thinking old large Benz, based on Rowan Atkinson describing his in The Driven Man...

Mercedes 600, currently undergoing restoration.

Hydraulic windows:

Hydraulically adjustable seats

It's pneumatics right, not hydraulics?

I hear from a buddy who was a Mercedes dealer tech (and apparently some Mercedes owners still bring their 50 y.o. cars to the dealer), those hydraulic windows will take your fingers off if you aren't careful.

I believe pnuematics were a little later in more models than just the flagship.

My '66 Caddy uses rubber line pneumatics for the locks, but windows are electric
